JL Smith
Since visiting Hiroshima, Smith has been reflecting on power: what overpowers, what empowers us to rebuild, and the ruptures that continue across generations following cruelty.

Light ignites the mineral. Waves and time smooth the edges of the glass. We ask for transparency, but we rarely get it.
